Keep my S or CLS55?

Since my gf got the Cayenne Turbo, I have driven it for 200 miles, I love it so much! at 3k rpm, it goes to 120mph so fast... we are still in the break-in procedure.

My question is should I get a CLS55? My dad hasnt sat on the Turbo but I keep on telling him that my car is very stiff compared to the Turbo. He asked me whether I can put the PASM on the car. I told him that it is not possible and he keeps on asking me whether I want to swap for a new one. But my mom always says that I don't need SUV, which is correct. So I am debating to get a CLS or another new sedan... What do you guys think?

Note: my parents are here, I'm gonna take him for a test drive in the CLS500 tomorrow.

Between the Cayenne S and a CLS 55, I'd pick the CLS. Keep in mind that AMG will bring out a new engine as a replacment for the supercharged 55. It's a 6.3 liter that's turbo-charged and it might be out sometime during the summer.

don't know the Boston market (no i'm not selling homemade chicken here!) but are u going to pay over sticker for a new CLS there?

keep in mind the CLS only sits 4, 2 tight rear seats in the back with a fixed center console. i like the car, but consider the weather there i'd take the Cayenne hands down.

I heard the mark up is $10,000. CRAZY.
for that mark up, I would rather get an M5.

DEETZ:

Get the CLS or some other vehicle. We all know what happens when people get two similiar cars in the family. They get sick of them quickly. The Turbo is beautiful, keep it and get yourself a nice little sedan so we can do some bench racing.

CLS55 is one of the most pimp ride I've seen in a long time on the market. Screw the V12, the SCed V8 sounds so much better! Black CLS55 with HREs...
